Sleep Diagnostic Service

Sleep and Breathing Assessment for patients with suspected sleep apnea
 

Sleep disordered breathing affects up to 25% of adults

  Sleep disordered breathing affects up to 25% of adults
The Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, an internationally recognised centre for sleep research, offers a portable service that can check your breathing while you sleep. Using the Flow Wizard® airflow recorder, this service provides a cost effective tool for the detection and management of sleep apnea.
 
Important signs of sleep related breathing problems:
 

This service is now available to patients and health care providers around Australia. Orders can be placed via the internet, telephone, fax or post. A simple-to-use Flow Wizard® will be delivered directly to your house.

It takes about five minutes to set up and is comfortable for all night use. It will record for three nights.

After use, the recorder is returned to the Woolcock Institute of Medical Research via self-addressed postal pack for immediate analysis.

A simple and clear report is then sent to you and your health care provider, who can then make a decision on what other testing may be required, or what type of treatment (if any) should be started.

 
 

Important note:

As all individuals are different, the Woolcock strongly urges you to consult with your physician to discuss any sleep problems and for professional medical advice.
